Imagine you are going into Orange County early in the morning. The map and location app on your device is going off that there's a good place to stop right off the freeway. Yet the yelp reviews say only 3 stars? What's this? That's better than most of the other local places nearby since you've already pulled off. Walk in to the old style building with grogginess and you'll be awakened with pleasant greetings. That was my experience this morning and thankfully so. Alexa, Madison, and Chloe provided energy to release me of that grogginess. (: I don't always get a pleasant greetings, smiles, or a welcome back attitude. When I do a 5 star review is due. Thank you to everyone at this store. read more

Probably the first Starbucks I have been to and had terrible service. We were waiting in line at the front counter and were repeatedly stared at by staff and then asked if we were waiting for something. Clearly we were there to order but was then going through our order when the barista kept saying "anything else" after every item I ordered. We had separate orders with two groups and the following order took 10 minutes for only one drink. Sad to say this once used to be my favorite stop on a long drive but sadly won't be coming back. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

As always, another great Starbucks location! The staff here is so amazing, very warm and welcoming and they make sure to greet everyone that walked through the door when we were there. They are just all very friendly and an overall great experience. Instead of mobile ordering we ordered in store and our drinks were out very quickly and tasted amazing! The store is super clean and nice sized and has plenty of seating indoors. They also have a nice selection of merchandise if you ever need a quick gift or even picking up something for yourself. This location has a drive through, is fairly close to the freeway, has plenty of parking and pretty easy to get in and out. Best location to stop off on the way up North, worth it just to see the wonderful Barista's for sure!!! read more

Convenient place right off the freeway exit. Go inside to order or do mobile. Drive thru is super busy (15 deep). Staff is super efficient and friendly. Restrooms are clean (get code from staff). Coffee yummy as always. read more

Starbucks - Great inside architecture - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

Guess I haven't been to a Starbucks in the last 120 days, my phone offloaded the app. So I downloaded it and let a couple people go before me. I usually get the mango dragon fruit refresher drink with light ice, vanilla latte or a chai tea latte But today I decided to try something else. I tried a green tea latte and substituted the milk for almond milk. I got honey as a sweetener. I asked if they can put no ice in it, and they said that they can mix it with no ice so that worked well for me! I should've asked for a little more honey cause I can hardly taste it, and I don't eat or drink many sugary things in general, and I could barely taste it. All good next time I know just to ask for a pinch more. The girl was really patient when I was asking questions or trying to figure out what I wanted to try, and my substitutions. She didn't rush me, and I pulled up the app and had signed in before I made the order, but didn't realize I didn't have any funds left over, so she helped me scan to pay and load me up! The customers are probably pretty chill at this location because nobody complained about how long it took. I use the restroom at this location and there wasn't a lock on it so I didn't have to go back and ask for some pin number which was nice! I stepped outside and got some sunshine Also while waiting. They have a nice patio area with little tables and chairs. If you had a larger party, I'm sure you could put the tables and chairs together yourself. The whole area is pretty cute actually! Lots of little shops and restaurants within walking distance from this location. Parking was pretty easy, there's a parking lot in the back that I easily found a spot in. This place was right off the highway and I might come back a different time on my way home from San Diego and explore the area more! read more

Great friendly service ... we had a busy day in San Clemente... tired from the days activities, we decided to stop for coffee before getting on the Freeway for the drive home. Wyatt greeted us and made pleasant conversation as we waited for the Barrista to prepare our selections. The end to our day was exactly what we were looking for... friendly conversation and an excellent cappuccino. read more

The benefit to this location is how BIG it is inside. I like the attention to detail and all the artwork. The inside is spacious and there's some seating outside too. The parking can be a bit cramped, but it's a great location. Also, it's always very clean inside with a lot of seating. My only recommendation is turning down the music a bit. This is one of the louder locations. read more

I've always loved this Starbucks and all the employees are so nice, definitely don't get paid enough to deal with some of these customers shoutout to Julia (I hope I got that right) for giving me a good laugh in the drive through talking bout ADHD lol, and somehow these girls always know when i'm having a bad day and make it a little better :) read more

Starbucks quality is fairly consistent and this was no exception. What was exceptional was the warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly service! Our drinks were tasty and as ordered read more

I had such a great experience at this Starbucks thanks to Nancy. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with genuine warmth and a big smile. I was having one of those chaotic mornings, and she went above and beyond to help me out. It's rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their job and truly cares about the customer experience. Starbucks is lucky to have her, she's the kind of employee who makes you want to come back again and again. read more

Great starbucks, fast and friendly! Matcha was perfect and so was my mom's drink. Plenty of space to hang out pretty clean bathrooms read more

Went here in the middle of the day with the whole fam. Lady at the drive through was continually rushing us through the order, which was 4 drinks and 4 snacks. Up front, the woman at the window barely talked to us or looked our direction except for handing the drinks. They forgot one snack, had to remind them. Drinks were low quality, not filled up to the top and not light ice, which was specifically requested and supposed to be added. On one drink, we added two extra inclusion scoops which costed extra. But, when we received the drink, there was barely any inclusion, looked like barely one scoop. No "thanks" or "have a great day" and horrible customer service experience. Overall bad experience and not up to normal Starbucks quality. read more

Starbucks customer service is usually great but the girl that served me today was horrible. Didn't say hi, didn't have a smile, and looked annoyed I was there. I totally regret tipping after the experience I had. read more

Charming coffee shop with Spanish decor, lively music and a chill atmosphere. Great for people watching. Glad we came over here. read more

Oh our way up to attend an event and we dropped by to get some beverages and snacks. Tried the chicken sandwich for the first time. Compared to their breakfast sandwiches, sorry I didn't think it was that great. The ham sandwich was a much better but I still prefer the breakfast items. read more

Nice and peaceful looking Starbucks we had breakfast at this morning at our meeting. Right near the beach. You always cant beat that. Nicely designed seats and comfort here this morning with my Tall Coffee and Cream Cheese Onion Bagel. Love the vibes here and the people. Baristas are friendly here too. I will be back again. read more

How is it possible that I ask for light ice and get a whole cup full of it and be told that she already gave me a light scoop. I practically drank about a shot of pink drink. I was offered more but honestly do it right first. My friend got normal ice and had so much less than mine. Just admit your mistakes and don't lie. Don't let the blonde do your order. read more

First time at this location because there was a drive thru here. I'm super disappointed when I opened my cup and realized that it's not even full. I'm not sure if it's a specific employee that is doing this, but they definitely need to know that it's not right if we're paying an arm and a leg for this. read more

Update...I think management and the powers that be heard enough people complain because I have been to this Starbi's a couple of times and have not experienced anything like before. Yes the lines is always long, but it is expected since this is the only drive through in SC. The staff is very friendly and will go above and beyond when you order drinks that are not the normal drinks. Yes, I am that person because I order keto drinks and it requires more ingredients . Regardless of what I order they always make exactly what I want. Thank you!!!' I am super happy that this store is back to normal read more

Ordered a Grande Matcha Green Tea Latte and a Grande Lavender Oat Milk Latte on a Saturday morning and both drinks were half full. The Lavender Latte did not have lavender in it - it tasted like coffee with plain milk. I'm not sure what was in it since I asked for decaf. Very disappointing. read more

While the cats away the mice will play .I am diabetic and enjoy fresh brewed Ice coffee.Lke to mix sweether with half & Half in a large cup of ice. I asked for a refill of the half and half metal pitcher a replacement. I was advised no pitcher on the condiment bar for refill.2 and a half hours before closing. I asked if it was because I mix my own coffee? Three employees said we will pour you a small cup of H&H they smirked and laughed in my face when I asked why? I am a great customer this disappointed me..The manager is great.I left as soon as it became an unprofessional retal experience. left behind a large mug of coffee. as well. the manager tries so hard every way possible to offer a great experience..

This one star is entirely for stephen, I have been to this starbucks multiple times and a handful of moments I have seen him be rude and disrespectful not only to customers but his STAFF!! I am very observent to my surroundings and often overhear him speaking demeaning ou to him own staff which genuinely dampens the atmosphere knowing how he acts. Besides that the staff is quite nice and generous to me and my son! read more

Stopped in for a Lavender Oatmilk tea limited special featured on their App. Good lavender flavor, but it pretty much tastes like lavender Oatmilk. As the ice melts it get watered down and deleted in taste. Refreshing. I think it needs something more though, like a punch of vanilla. Will try again with almond or coconut milk. Nice location, Good clean friendly. Lavender drinks and food are a hot culinary trend and Starbucks is on it. Worth a try. read more

The good: This is a very spacious Starbucks with a really beautiful interior. They have a large communal table inside with leather ottomans, arched windows and modern lights. Their barista counter is very long. I tried the mango dragon fruit drink and the new pineapple matcha drink in a grande. I like their these drinks were refreshing, unique and not overly sweet. The dragon fruit drink had fun chunks of dehydrated pitaya inside that added a nice crunch and gave the drink the signature bright magenta color. I also liked that they had sippy cups that made it possible to drink without straws. The bad: Their drinks have a lot of ice. I ordered a kiwi star drink originally but they ran out. The interesting: They have super interesting and cool looking cactus plants outside that I've never seen before. read more

Never trust a Starbucks that can't make a drink at kids temperature. This location by far has been the worst location I've ever been to. From what I saw they had a bunch of teenagers working there that can't make drinks correctly. First and last time visiting this place. Super disappointing today! read more

Starbucks - Disappointed - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Clemente, California

What a lovely surprise this morning to receive such a wonderful Starbucks experience! It made my day. Emma and her team took care of me with friendliness, attentiveness, and kindness. They were genuinely curious about what kind of drink I liked (and can have with my dietary preferences) and went out of their way to craft that. Above and beyond! Cafe is open, airy and clean. Thanks Starbucks, for hiring such amazing folks! read more

Very rude customer service from the blonde girl. No smile, very condescending for no reason. They took forever to make the drinks, and the brownie wasn't warmed up like it was supposed to. Byeee read more

Wonderful staff. I ordered inside and sat for a little bit while I waited for my drink. All of the employees remembered the regulars names and orders.

No parking and they have that stupid tip line. Don't go Oh yeah, they have two restrooms but they designate one for employees only so there's a line and it becomes very difficult to use while the other one sits empty. Of course it also have a code.. another reason why I generally avoid Starbucks and go anywhere else. !/))/)).)$:&:&!/&$:7273783&3!.!!.!!,'djidiwisjjsbdnxnd read more

Unfortunately, not the best experience at this location. The front door was locked after the suggested opening hours, no sign to indicate lobby is closed. Drive thru experience was annoying, only one person to take the orders and to fulfill the requests, might suggest hiring more staff for a busy location. They were still cleaning the store and filling the shelves after opening hours. Mobile order was "never read", so they didn't have it available, that was a bit annoying to have heard. read more

So this is now the FORTH time that I have ordered strawberry puree to my strawberry matcha and PAID A WHOLE DOLLAR FOR IT, only for them to continually not add it. This time I decided to actually speak up about it and reminded them to add the strawberry puree when they handed me it without it... they poured my drink into a new cup and lied to me saying that they added the puree but I know they didn't - you can visibly see that they just poured the same drink again and added nothing. I'm paying an extra dollar for puree, it takes two seconds to pour it from the container to the cup, please stop charging me a WHOLE EXTRA DOLLAR for it every time just to not give me my puree. I tip every time even when they do this, and it's very depressing that I'm tipping and regularly ordering from them only to be consistently ignored in my requests. I respect service workers but this is feeling very purposely ignored by all of the workers at this location. read more

Starbucks quality food & beverages. However, staff seems to not want to be here. Staff are 2/2 on their eye roll game. I would highly recommend a friendlier coffee shop! Coffee shops in San Clemente Zebra House Cafe & High Tide Coffee actually appreciate your business and have online ordering options as well! read more

Slowest Starbucks Drive-Thru in the country. If you're on a deadline do not try to get in and out of here in less than a half hour. in the drive-through there's no way to get out. You will 100% be late if you're on a schedule and think that the drive-through is only gonna take a couple of minutes. read more
